 ACCOUNTS FOR 1911. 



Mr. L. H. Savile, the Honorary Treasurer, in submitting a statement of 

 the accounts for the year ending 31st December 1911, said : — I beg to call 

 attention to the fact that the opening balance at the beginning of the year 

 was Rs. 2,960-10-11, and the closing balance was Rs. 2,494-7-9, showing an 

 excess of expenditure over income of Rs. 466-3-2. Although this is not a 

 very large deficit, when compared with last year, which showed a surplus of 

 Rs. 8,485-9-3 it is a serious falling off. With regard to the receipts which 

 are Rs. 3,037-3-4 less than in 1910, the subscriptions are Rs. 600-0-1 less, 

 entrance fees Rs. 1,079-4 less and sale of Duck Book Rs. 2,424-12-6 less. 

 This latter source of income was practically expected to cease this year as 

 the issue was nearly all sold last year, but what is more serious is the 

 reduction in the amount of entrance fees, meaning as it does that the 

 number of new members joining has decreased by 118. While the receipts 

 have diminished, the expenditure has gone up by Rs. 4,945-15-10 as 

 compared with last year, the principal items of increase being rent for 

 the additional rooms taken over Rs. 750, salaries of staft' Rs. 1,131-10-10, 

 Journal account Rs. 3,302-8-3. These increased expenses are all very 

 necessary if the Society is to carry on the work it has undertaken and the 

 way in which members can best assist in helping on this work is to induce 

 others to join the Society or in agreeing to a substantial increase of the 

 annual subscription.
